Why does hi-lo out perform in double decks?

[FrankieT]

Some apparent confusion here - a larger spread = lower RoR, not higher.
The common confusion is that spread is properly calc'd from the topBet down.

Example -

6D 5 -100
2D 10 - 100
1D 25 - 100

Calculated from the top bet down? What do you mean?

My definition of "spread" has always been the difference between the top bet and the bottom bet in terms of minimum bet units

$25 to $200 is a spread of 8
$5 to $100 is a spread of 20

In other words, if you regularly played 1D 2D and 6D your maxBet would be approximately the same regardless, its the size of your smallest bet that detirmines spread not vice-versa. zg

No confusion. Small bankroll means you can only spread up to increase spread.

Got it. But no overbetting allowed, regardless. zg
